Quick Analysis:

Sticking with the favourite today in Hawkesbury. Above The Law broke his maiden last time out at Illawarra Grange, and I think he can back it up again, especially against this field. While that was his first win, he does have a career record of 8:1-5-1, so it seems he is almost always there or thereabouts. Dylan Gibbons sticks, and they are good enough to overcome the top weight.

Quick Analysis:

Heading over to Seymour now, and Yuuki looks the one to be on. The filly is another that broke her maiden last time out (at Swan Hill), and I think she can build on that performance. She also has five placings from just seven career starts. The $3.10 looks decent enough, so get while the going is good. She’s got the talent to topple the favourite today.

Quick Analysis:

In the final race of the day at Seymour, I’ve sided with Geeseven. He broke his maiden last time out, and his two other record runs have resulted in second placings. I don’t think this is a massive step up in class, and the conditions should suit as well. Billy Egan, who was on board for the win last time out, sticks. They get a decent enough barrier draw as well.

Stats and Insights

  • King Spirit led throughout for a strong win last start and has been in excellent form this campaign. He looks the one to beat in Race 5 at Rockhampton.
  • Motivating drops back to non-metro grade and has already placed this prep at Sunshine Coast level. He can pop up there at double-digit odds in Race 5 at Ipswich.
  • Spirit Of Barty has been consistent in all career starts and placed when favourite first-up last time. She can build on that run and is the main hope in Race 7 at Ipswich.
